Purview DLP: Granular Control Over Policy Tips and Email Notifications for SharePoint/OneDrive

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Purview DLP now allows independent configuration of policy tips and email notifications for SharePoint and OneDrive, offering more granular control over user warnings and security team alerts.

The Impact

Admins gain flexible control over DLP notifications, improving incident response and user education without forcing combined alerts.

  • Admins: Can now configure DLP rules with only policy tips, only email notifications, both, or neither, for SharePoint and OneDrive.
  • Security Teams: Enhanced flexibility in alerting methods allows for more tailored incident response and user guidance.
  • End Users: May experience more targeted policy tips or email notifications based on admin configuration, reducing alert fatigue.

The Action

  1. Navigate to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
  2. Review existing Data Loss Prevention policies targeting SharePoint and OneDrive.
  3. Modify rules to leverage the new decoupled policy tip and email notification settings as required.
  4. Test updated policies to ensure desired notification behavior.
